Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Chapter 327 Gao Lin ties the Chinese national football team's hat-trick record
It is not surprising that the Chinese national football team defeated Uzbekistan at home, but many people did not expect them to win by so much!
After the national football team won this big victory, the fans were relieved:
"I thought the Uzbekistan team was a dark horse, but now it seems that we scared ourselves. Unless they are deliberately conserving their strength, it is almost impossible for them to defeat the Chinese national team in the Asian Cup with the strength they showed in this game!"

"I think we should not be too optimistic. Uzbekistan has some good players. The reason why they lost so badly was mainly because they were not used to the Chinese national team's tactical style and underestimated the intensity of the game, so they conceded goals one after another at the beginning of the game.

If they had held on in the first half and not conceded a goal, it would have been difficult for the Chinese national team in the second half!"

"Haha, actually, a team like Uzbekistan used to be a feared opponent for the Chinese team. Who would have thought that they would be beaten by the Chinese national team without any chance of fighting back?"

"That's right. Don't you see who the Chinese national football team's opponents have been in the past two years? With the top-ranked teams in the world acting as sparring partners, the strength of the Chinese national football team has naturally improved by leaps and bounds!"

Everyone has seen the progress of the Chinese team in the past two years, which can be reflected in the national football team's soaring world rankings.

Playing chess with a bad chess player will only make you worse and worse.

Even if you cannot defeat the top masters when fighting with them, you can still gain knowledge and experience from them to help yourself grow faster.

Of course, this requires a certain foundation on your own.

If it was the group of national team players more than a decade later, using this method would not only fail to improve, but they would be beaten by strong teams with big scores frequently, completely destroying the players' self-confidence.

To be fair, the technical foundation of this group of players in the Chinese national football team is still good.

In some local positions they may be slightly weaker than the national team five years ago, but their overall strength is actually better than before.

Especially after competing and exchanging ideas with the world's top teams, this national team has undergone a transformation in terms of technology, morale and mentality.

More importantly, they found the tactical style that they are most comfortable and familiar with!
That is to replicate the club's tactical play within the national team, with overseas players such as Lin Feng as the core, acting as the team's "foreign aid", allowing other international players to return to the most familiar state of playing in the club.

In this situation, the other players only need to maximize their execution and leave the rest to the "foreign aid".

This is the tactic used by the Chinese national football team in this game.

Almost all the first few goals were related to Lin Feng, either he assisted or he scored them himself!
The defeat of the Uzbekistan team was due to their inability to keep an eye on Lin Feng and limit the opponent's performance.

But if the Chinese national football team encounters a team that can successfully restrict Lin Feng, the situation will probably be very difficult!
……

On this national team match day, the Chinese national football team originally planned to play two warm-up matches.

One is against Uzbekistan and the other is against Australia.

But for some unknown reason, Australia canceled the game at the last minute and let the Chinese national team down.

Therefore, the Chinese national football team had to play a warm-up match with the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Team, which is currently ranked first in the China League One. In the end, the Chinese national football team won the opponent 7:2.

After scoring twice in the previous game, Han Peng scored two goals again in this game, with header and feet, and his form was very hot.

In this game, Lin Feng played for 70 minutes and delivered amazing statistics of 3 assists and 1 goal.

However, considering that the opponent is relatively weak, it is normal to achieve such data. After all, Gao Lin has completed another hat trick!
"Hahahaha, I've become the player with the most hat tricks for the national team in the history of the Chinese national football team. How about that? Isn't that awesome?"

After the game, Gao Lin's triumphant laughter could be heard throughout the locker room.

After completing this hat-trick, Gao Lin's number of hat-tricks in the national team rose to three, tying the number of hat-tricks of national football legends Su Maozhen and Zhang Yuning in the national team!

Although Gao Lin's hat tricks were all scored in warm-up matches, some of them were not even in international A-level competitions, and their value cannot be compared with those of famous players such as Su Maozhen.

But this does not prevent Gao Lin from being proud at all. After all, he was born in 86 and is only 21 years old this year.

At such a young age, he has already tied the records held by his predecessors. There will be plenty of opportunities for him to surpass these predecessors in the future!

As long as he doesn't get seriously injured and maintains good form, he can still play for the national team for at least ten years.

You can't say that there hasn't been a hat trick in ten years, right?
If the team didn't have good midfielders like Lin Feng and Chen Tao, this possibility would really exist.

But with so many good midfielders, this possibility is basically ruled out.

As a forward, he doesn't worry about no one passing the ball to him!

As long as I keep my accuracy and seize opportunities, it is only a matter of time before I break the records of my predecessors!

"Hehehe, bro, you're awesome, are you impressed by my strength? Do you want an autograph from me?"

Seeing that his teammates were just packing up their things and keeping silent, Gao Lin approached the group and said in a mean way.

Everyone was speechless. They had seen narcissistic people before, but they had never seen such a narcissistic person. This guy really dared to start a dyeing factory if he was given some color:

"Since you are so awesome, I won't pass the ball to you in the future. After all, you are so awesome, you shouldn't need our midfield to pass the ball, right?"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes at Gao Lin and made him shut up with just one sentence.

Everyone burst into laughter upon seeing this and gave Lin Feng a thumbs up!

Gao Lin is a real guy who 'boasts when he's let go, and rolls his eyes when he's choked!'

……

After finishing two games for the national team, Lin Feng and several teammates flew out of Guangzhou and returned to their respective teams to report.

With less than a week left until the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Inter Milan's focus has naturally shifted from the league to the Champions League.

In order to save energy for the Champions League match at the weekend, Mancini plans to make large-scale rotations in the midweek league.

The league has entered its final stage and Inter Milan's lead is unshakable.

Even though Inter Milan's opponents in this round of the league are very tough, large-scale rotations are likely to lead to the team's loss.

But Mancini doesn't care much about it. As long as he wins the league title in the end, losing one or two games in the middle is no big deal.

On the contrary, if the team was eliminated in the Champions League, he felt that his position as coach might be lost.

He has his own opinion on which is more important between the two.

Although Inter Milan did not send out its strongest lineup, Parma's strength is indeed too weak. They are deeply trapped in the relegation zone and urgently need points to get out of the quagmire.

So even on the road, Parma still chose to take the initiative to attack.

Perhaps in their opinion, with the lineup Inter Milan sent out, they have the possibility of scoring points!
Inter Milan has great respect for a team that dares to take the initiative to attack them at the Meazza Stadium.

So out of respect for the opponent, Inter Milan showed no mercy.

In the first half, Beckham assisted Torres with a stunning crescent-shaped shot.

In the second half, Materazzi scored another goal with a header in the penalty area!
In the end, Inter Milan, playing at home, defeated Parma 2:0 and dealt a heavy kick to a team that was about to be relegated.

It is said that it is difficult to play against relegation teams, but Inter Milan seems to have never encountered such a problem.

Countless relegation teams have lost to them this season. They are simply the nemesis of relegation teams.

Lin Feng did not play in this game and was not even included in the roster.

But it seems that he is not really needed. In this game, players like Torres and Materazzi who cannot participate in the next Champions League all played. Together with Beckham who is not eligible to register for the Champions League, Inter Milan has big players in the front, middle and back lines.

Their performance was also remarkable and they were the biggest contributors to the team's victory.

At this time, I have to sigh that with a deep bench, you can really do whatever you want!

……

Although Inter Milan won beautifully, the focus of this round of the league was not on Inter Milan, but on Roma and AC Milan.

This game is very important for Roma. If they cannot beat AC Milan, they will not only fail to narrow the gap with Inter Milan, but may be further left behind by Inter Milan.

But AC Milan is not a weakling that can be bullied at will!

Although AC Milan suffered a double defeat at the hands of Inter Milan, that was Inter Milan after all. When facing other teams, AC Milan was not afraid at all and often even struck back hard.

However, there is one very embarrassing thing for both teams.

This game is too close to the Champions League. If the two teams fight to the death in the league and both suffer losses, it will be difficult to deal with them in the Champions League.

Considering that both teams play at home first and away later, if they fail to win in the first round, it will basically be a death sentence.

After all, examples of teams advancing unexpectedly away from home, like Roma did before, are rare.

So this game is a dilemma for both teams: should they choose the league or the Champions League?
Roma seemed to have chosen the league, with Spalletti fielding almost all of his main players in the game.

Ancelotti seemed to be holding back. Although he sent out most of the main players, core players like Kaka, Pirlo and others were substituted early in the second half to rest in order to avoid over-consumption of energy.

Although AC Milan’s current league ranking is not optimistic, it needs to get more points to secure a place in next year’s Champions League.

But the issue of the Champions League seats can be postponed for a while. Compared with the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals, the latter is more important.

However, Roma, who took the game more seriously and invested more main players, was tied by AC Milan at their home court!
In the first half, Ade scored the first goal for the team, but in the second half, Pirlo's free kick brought both sides back to the same starting line.

Although Ancelotti quickly replaced key players such as Pirlo and Kaka, Roma's siege did not produce any effect in the following 30 minutes.

The score remained 1:1 until the end of the game!
This result is very good for AC Milan.

But for the Roma team who are aiming to win the championship, this is unacceptable.

After being tied by Fiorentina in the previous away game, they were tied again at home by AC Milan in this game.

In just one week, Roma has brought itself to its knees!

Before Inter Milan did anything, the opponent stabbed itself twice, further widening the gap between the two teams to 17 points!
There are still nine rounds left in the league, and such a huge gap is really beyond the reach of even gods.

Many fans feel that Inter Milan can already prepare for the championship celebration in advance. The only suspense is, how many rounds in advance will Inter Milan win the championship?
Since the suspense of this season's league championship has long disappeared, Serie A fans are now more concerned about how many records Inter Milan can create this season?
"There are still 9 rounds left in the league, and Inter Milan's points have reached 79. If they win 7 more games, Inter Milan will break the records of Serie A and the top five leagues and become the first championship team in history to get 100 points!"

"Not only that, considering that Inter Milan has not lost a game in the league so far, if they can remain unbeaten in the last nine games, they will become the first team in Serie A and the second team in Europe to win the championship unbeaten in a season!"

"Inter Milan has now won 25 games. If they win five more of the next nine games, they will become the first team in Serie A and even the entire top five leagues to win 9 games in a single season!"

"Brothers, don't forget that there are still games where we can win the championship in advance. The previous record was held by Fiorentina and Torino, who won the championship five rounds in advance. Inter Milan's lead is so big now that they only need to beat Roma in the next game to win the championship six or even seven rounds in advance!"

……

I don't know, I was surprised!
Everyone was surprised to find that Inter Milan had created or was close to creating so many records without realizing it!
Any of these records would have been extremely difficult to break in the past.

I didn’t expect that within this one season, we might be swept away by Inter Milan!
This shows how big Inter Milan's advantage is in Serie A this season!
"Well, everyone says that the Bundesliga is dominated by Bayern Munich, but I think our Serie A is not much worse, maybe even worse.

At least Bayern's lead in the Bundesliga has never been so big, and it is even a question whether Bayern can win the championship this season.

In contrast, Inter Milan has left other competitors far behind.

Roma is almost 20 points behind them, how can they play like this? "

After the discussion, Serie A fans began to sigh again.

Many older football fans miss the vibrant and dynamic era of Serie A.

That was a great era. The competition in the league was unprecedentedly fierce. Everyone was very strong and had the hope of winning the championship.

You never know who will win the Serie A championship until the last round.

Moreover, due to the large number of strong teams, there are several exciting matchups in each round of the league, which makes it difficult for fans to keep up.

It's nothing like it is now, where Inter Milan is the only dominant team and the league is almost boring.

Alas, Serie A can never go back to that era!
